I've recently been trolling the Battle Colosseum servers with this Strategy lately, so much that I've being accused of hacking. To prove that I'm not hacking (and because I'm a nice guy) I'm going to show you the F.E.A.R strategy.

F.E.A.R. stands for:

Focus sash(or Sturdy)

Endeavor

(Quick) Attack

Rattata

Strategy
The strategy involves a low level Rattata (or any Pokémon that can learn Endeavor and Quick Attack, in my case Doduo). The Rattata carries a Focus Sash, and is attacked by the opposing Pokémon, lowering down the Rattata's HP to 1. The Rattata uses Endeavor, which makes the opponent's HP equal to the Rattata's HP. The Rattata then uses Quick Attack, guaranteeing it will strike first, lowering the HP from 1 to 0.

Counter Strategies

 * Knowledge: Knowing what your opponent will do will greatly benefit you, as you can not attack first turn, thus destroying the system. Many players on Brick Bronze are impulsive, and will attack first. Experienced players will know how to counter your FEAR
 * Status moves: Using status moves on your opponent will also mess up FEAR.
 * Ghost types: Ghost types are immune to Normal type moves, thus rendering Endeavor and Quick Attack useless
 * Embargo/Magic Room: These moves will render Focus Sash useless, as they prevent the use of items.
 * Leftovers, Black Sludge, Etc.: These healing items may save you from FEAR
 * Shedinja(Wonder Guard): Will render all the moves useless
 * Multi strike moves: These moves will counter Focus Sash as they hit the target multiple times.
